Abstract

• A scaled-down prototype of the GSM based Automatic Greenhouse Controlled system using Auduino board was build and tested. The automated greenhouse control system achieves monitoring and control of a greenhouse environment by using sensors and actuators which are under the control of a microcontroller. The codes for the controller were written in the Arduino programming language, debugged, complied and burnt into the microcontroller using the Arduino integrated development environment (IDE). The microcontroller ensures that the microclimatic parameters stay within pre-defined values as determined and set by the user. The climatic conditions of the greenhouse and state of actuators are transmitted to the remote monitoring station via a GSM (MODEM).
